Suppose I'm making an algorithm that identifies the subject of a picture. It could be anything that a computer doesn't do that well, but I'm not expecting to get the right answer every time - 80% is ...

I'm working on an algorithm which routes tasks through a chain of distributed resources based on a hash (or random number).
For example, say you have 10 gateways into a service which distribute tasks ...

I need to generate a hyperexponential distribution for my project. I have already implemented a poisson generating algorithm given by Donald Knuth, but I couldn't find an algorithm for generating a ...

We have a research project with idea->prototype->statistics development cycle.
Anyway, our final product is a prototype, so the statistics collection suite is
not used persistently. Supposing I have ...
